CURRENT EVENTS

We are working with Eddie Cohn to release his new EP "REMIXED".

On October 11th 2011 Eddie Cohn will be releasing digitally world wide his new Re-Mix EP entitled "Eddie Cohn Remixed."
This will be Eddie's fifth release to date. Although a new twist to previously released tracks and certainly a departure from his previous records, the remixes are so perfectly suited to Eddie's voice and composition, it's a wonder this hasn't happened earlier!

The Verve, Joseph Arthur, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Ryan Adams, NIN and Elliot Smith have all, among others, played a part in Eddie's musical development. Eddie's style is very much his own, although it would be fair to say that if you are a fan of his influences you will likely be a fan of this EP.

We're happy to announce the long awaited new release from Chasing Satellites. So far Scott Lake (Avril Levine, Metric, The Stills, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Richards, The Jonas Brothers, etc...) has said "the album has great tonalities and great songs..."

Paul Gross of Metalworks studios (Prince, Three Days Grace, Joel Plaskett, Black Eyed Peas, Alexis On Fire, Simple Plan, Sam Roberts, Tokyo Police Club, Feist, etc...) has said "it is one of the best new releases I have heard this year..."

PlayItLoudMusic's founder Aaron Bethune is happy to announce a collaboration with HitQuarters. Bethune will be interviewing established industry specialists and artists. Much like the PlayItLoudMusic interview series the intent is to help independent artists find ways to create revenue streams from the music business. You can see the first interview posted on the HitQuarters site. Also PlayItLoudmMusic will be looking for up and coming artists/bands to interview. The key factor is that the artists/bands must have accomplished notable recognition independently and are willing to share their story. 

1st Annual Tip to Tip Bike Trip

"We are a group of like-minded musicians who are using the skills and abilities we
have as artists, public speakers, film makers and bicyclists to inform and alert the
public to the importance of protecting our natural environments. We are riding
bicycles from the northern to the southern most tips of Vancouver Island and
performing at venues all along the way. We are filming this adventure in high
definition, from start to finish, to be edited after into a short documentary. All
proceeds from the tour will be donated to The Georgia Straight Alliance, The
Western Wilderness Committee, and GreenPeace." Jon Bone.

PlayItLoudMusic's founder Aaron Bethune conducts a series of music industry interviews.
 
"These interviews are a real source of information and knowledge. Whether you're an artist looking for success or simply interested in how this business works. With the participation of 604 Records owner Jonathan Simkin, Music Supervisor Ron Proulx, Entertainment Life Coach Ryan Stanley, and many more, there is a lot of great insight here. The music business has changed and musicians are now in control of their own career. Knowledge is a powerful tool. With these interviews I am asking very direct questions so as to help people know how to go about submitting their music to film and t.v., publishers, promoters, etc... I have also enjoyed talking to people with great success stories and how they can relate to your own! 

The biggest thing for me when I started in this business was finding people willing to open up about the intricacies and details of their jobs, and how they made a successful living at it.  Now I have the chance to ask some of the questions I wish I had been able to ask when I first started! Theses days I find that the business is about giving things away for free, whether it be music or resources... I hope you enjoy following this series as much as I have." Aaron Bethune.

Naked Jams is a project that we are very proud to be a part of.

"The concept behind the project is to create collaborative, single take performance videos that we shoot on location, away from stages and studios and mixing boards and effects processors. Just raw, usually unplugged, "naked" music. Our focus is to collaborate with local musicians, to help connect them with a wider audience and also to help the audience that's hungry for more independent music find talent they are unfamiliar with. We also want to work with more established artists, to help them show a different side then what the mainstream is used to seeing." Tash Baycroft.
